This vase is shaped around absence as much as form. Crafted from hickory and seated on a matching hickory base, the piece follows the natural contours of a hollowed trunk—its curves, inlets, and recesses left intact and celebrated rather than refined away.
Soft spalting moves across the surface like a fading memory, adding delicate pattern to the warm grain. The result feels both grounded and fluid, as though the tree’s interior architecture has simply been revealed instead of remade.
Quietly expressive and deeply tactile, the piece invites close looking—an object shaped as much by time and decay as by the hand that finished it.
